I need to prove that the following is true. Thanks (2tanx /1-tan^x)+(1/2cos^2x-1)= (cosx+sinx)/(cosx - sinx) and thanks ........... check your typing. I tried 30º, the two sides are not equal, they differ by 1 oh , thank you Mr Reiny …

The identities cos(a-b)=cos(a)cos(b)sin(a)sin(b) and sin(a-b)=sin(a)cos(b)-cos(a)sin(b) are occasionally useful. Justify them. One method is to use rotation matricies. Another method is to use the established identities for cos(a+b) …

I keep trying to solve this by factring but I can't seem to get! It's so frustrating! The problem is 1+tan2x=0 This is how I worked the problem before: 1+((2tanx)/(1-tan^2x))=0 ((2tanx)/(1-tan^2x))= -1 Then I cross multiplied to get: …

For each of the following determine whether or not it is an identity and prove your result. a. cos(x)sec(x)-sin^2(x)=cos^2(x) b. tan(x+(pi/4))= (tan(x)+1)/(1-tan(x)) c. (cos(x+y))/(cos(x-y))= (1-tan(x)tan(y))/(1+tan(x)tan(y)) d. (tan(x)+sin(x))/(1+cos(x))=tan(x) …
